POLK COUNTY, Florida -- In front of an audience of nearly 20 media members, Sheriff Grady Judd delivered another classic press conference performance complete with emotion, one-liners, and threats to any other sexual predators who may hear his message.

Judd claimed that men who wanted nothing to do with the law enforcement "underage decoys" are still under investigation -- even years after a sting was finished -- because they may still be arrested one day. Defense attorneys tell 10 Investigates they suspect law enforcement is withholding the records because it will reveal they are trying to entrap more men than anyone realizes.

During the press conference, Judd also compared arresting the men was like "shooting fish in a barrel," although it wasn't clear how easy it was for detectives since Judd wouldn't say how many men the task force had to bait to get their 16 arrests.

The sheriff admitted detectives from the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) task force he oversees were "knocked off" several sites for inappropriate use, applauding those sites for taking appropriate action. He told members of the media that more pressure needs to be put on sites that don't police for predators and underage users.

When asked if the sheriff's office was also going after underage children who were seeking adults online, as many ICAC fake ads mimic, Judd said, "not a lot; there are some."

10 Investigates continues to seek public records to shed light on the secretive stings.
